I am working on an article as to how I wanted to do these things slightly differently than most.
One of my big ideas was plant mostly by seed, for genetics. I also have a “specimen tree” thornless honey locust, which I intend to neopolyploidize to create a tetraploid honey locust so it will be permanently thornless, unable to cross with wild thorned versions, and then create a seedless triploid, for planting in grazing pastures, so cattle can eat it but not make forests.
And also bois d’arc, but I wanted to mechanize silk production, and utilize daisuigi to that end. Then use bodark and honey locust to afforest the American West.
I wanted to create a single big company that does neat things like that, with CEO pay capped at 18-1 the lowest paid worker and half of food sold at cost to public schools and food banks. Other half of food create a national chestnut coop.
Really, I just wanted to do the science stuff. But lots and lots of chestnuts. Soak the market, chestnut flour should be cheaper than wheat flour. And chestnuts can help ranchers, because of leather and chestnuts sweeten beef.

Another thing is Castanea ozarkensis…
